UNION SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER.

A THIRD PARTY IN VIReINIA.-It re-
mains to be seen whether many of the two
old, regular parties will fall in with this
new move, or partyi especially when i
comes in direct conflict with the position
taken by the temperance organizations who
were consulted in regard to, and acquiesced
in the formulation of the local option law
as it now is. Nor can we think, that this
new move will meet with the appreciation
of the more intelligent leaders of the pres
emit temperance move.
II seems to us to be q most egregious
mistake for the friends of local option, and
finally prohibition, to encourage this new
move, which necessarily drags the matter
of local option and ultimately prohibition
into politics; especially when it was thought
best by all parties, even the more intelli-
gent leaders of the present temperance
move, to construct the local option law so
as to keep it out of politics, as far as posi-
BILE, as the law indicates, by not allowing
an election, in regard to local option, to be
held in connection with any other election,
-it.cannot be held nearer the occurrence
of any other election, than thirty days
The object, it seems, was to leave the mat
ter entirely out Of politics, so that those of
both parties, in favor of local option, might
vote their sentiments relative to this mat
ter, without interfering with their political
sentiments. Just so it ought to be and
so it ought to be left.
There are quite number in both the
old parties who favor local option, and will
vote for it, if the matter is left out of poll
tics, but who will not support it. if it is
made political issue especially when they
have the privilege of voting for It without
going into new political party.
I Do not the designs of the political aspi.
rants for office crop out, in this new party
move, rather than the real interests of the
present temperance move9 Look beneath
the surface. Who cannot see the aspira-
tons of this move? Will thoughtful people
allow themselves to be thus gulled2
1t seems to us, that it is great mistake
to tamper with that matter, in order to get
up third political party under the present
aspect Of things. People should be cautious
in regard to such political moves. Design
ing men may have other objects in view, be-
sides those which come to the surface. Too
many changes are Improbable and ruinous.
They create confusion, unsettle the mind,
and leave nothing fixed.-'Shenanaoah Val

in power. Not only in the matters already
mentioned, but in every other respect the
Democratic party is the one that guards
the rights and protects the interests OF the
masses of the people, embracing all classes
and conditions, and particularly the poor
and laboripg people. Not to be 80, would
be to be false to its name, its history, and
its character. Sensible laboring men, who
are sufficiently informed to judge correctly,
cannot be deceived and imposed upon by
the speeches made in the Republican meet
ing last Saturday. They will agree with
that laboring man who stood at the door,
and, after listening to the speeches for
awhile. turned away in disgust with the re-
mark, that such talk was bosh and tom
foolery.
Why this newborn zeal and loud pro-
LESSONS in behalf of mechanics and laboring
men? Why is it, if the Republicans are
such friends of these classes, that they have
not heretofore sought out and nominated
mechanics and laboring men for law
makers? Why manifest so much interest
in these classes at this particular time, and
why SO lavish of rhetorical ''tafy?" Is it
because of the existence of the Order of the
| Knights Of Labor, and that they expect to
bamboozle Democrats who belong to that
organi cation that claims to be nen-political
in its character? They do not cease to be
Democrats when they become members OF
that Order, and will not fail to show at the
polls that they have not been transformed
into Malone Republicans. AS remarkable
as the positive features of that meeting
were, its negative feature was even more
SO, and, we presume, that no one who was
present failed to mark it. The name o.
